December 11, 20232 yr Hi I have a ST8000DM004-2CX188 that have recently shows smart 197 Current pending sector is 24 smart 198 Offline uncorrectable is 24 also run a smart extended test which completed with read failure I feared that the drive is dyeing so i used a unbalance plugin to move most of my important data to another disks in the array while i wait for my new drive to arrive but after moving the files i noticed that the drive smart 197 and 198 values have gone down to 0 and smart 187 Reported uncorrect value now is 1 smart extended test now completed without error so is this drive dyeing should I replace it or continue to use it and cancel my new drive order especially that HDD in my region is not cheap.
